Hi 

I have suffered in the past from various anxiety symptoms but not any for a while until a few days ago I’m in a stressful situation at the minute at work and worrying about things and the last few days I’ve had like a tight chest feeling not pains just like a dull tightness top of my chest,is this normal for anxiety?i was worried about my heart but i feel fine when I exercise I’m not out of breath or anything it’s actually worse when I’m resting just feel tense,I’ve also had a headache lately and dry mouth which I have sufferd with in past bouts of anxiety.feel worried it’s something bad and getting stressed out as I’ve had about 12 months free of anything.

It's not unusual for it to come back and they Are all common symptoms of anxiety or panic. I was free from anxiety for about 5 years and mine came back about 4 or 5 months ago without anything major happening. I think once you get anxiety it's with you forever. We have to learn to live with it and cope with it. Whether it be Meds or mindfulness or therapy it's a case of working out what's best for you and battling it. You have overcome it before and will again. We just have to learn how to react in the best way when it comes along. Take care. Hope this helps
